After taking a โ€œLโ€ on Monday, Terrific Tuesday seems to be an ideal, perfect way to rebound.ย  Go on and โ€œBrush the dirt off your shouldersโ€ and absolutely kill it on Tuesday.ย  How are we going to kill it this particular Tuesday, April 28, 2020? ย Well, we look to Grammy-winning pop superstar Kelly Clarkson and her uplifting 2020 single, โ€œI Dare Youโ€, a perfect way to ring in Terrific Tuesday!

Kelly Clarkson delivers a balanced performance on โ€œI Dare You,โ€ exhibiting vocal finesse on the verses, giving a bit more oomph on the chorus, particularly as the song progresses.ย  Among the best moments is when she digs in, showing off her powerhouse vocals in her upper register. Furthermore, the songwriting is rock solid, placing emphasis on being unafraid to love as opposed to fear. The chorus leads the charge:

โ€œI dare you to love
Oh, I dare you to love
Even if youโ€™re hurt and you can only see the worst
Even if you think itโ€™s not enough
Oh, I dare you to love.โ€

Adding to the terrific nature, fit for a Terrific Tuesday, are the sound and production.ย  โ€œI Dare Youโ€ possesses a tried-and-true pop sound, with a hint of electronic cues thrown in, particularly the chorus. Kelly Clarkson is a bop unto herself. ย On โ€œI Dare You, โ€ all boxes are checked off โ€“ hot vocals, uplifting songwriting, and solid pop production.ย  This is exactly the motivation one needs to have a Terrific Tuesday, or any terrific day for that matter.
